Counselling in EX15

I am a calm, approachable, empathic, and grounded counsellor with 8 years' experience. I have found that no matter who you are, what you have been through or are currently going through in life being genuinely heard and understood by someone else is a deeply healing process which often brings relief, calmness, and clarity. Wrestling with intense thoughts and feelings on your own can be utterly exhausting and can often leave you feeling stuck or going round in circles but having a safe and confidential space to share with a trusted professional can lead to surprising breakthroughs and a deeper understanding of yourself & your issues.

During our lives many of us can experience loneliness, despair, abandonment and many things that can affect our happiness. I provide a safe space where you can heal and grow without fear of judgment. Whether you need to go back to childhood and revisit painful past experiences, or work in the present with anxiety or grief, I can help. Starting to heal and gain acceptance with grief and loss and how to manage with anxiety and depression can feel overwhelming and isolating but having the tools to help and understanding of why can make each day become easier, more bearable and can be very empowering.

Are you feeling overwhelmed or stuck? Are the effects from anxiety or low self-esteem holding you back? I can support you through the difficulties that you are experiencing and help you to find the freedom needed so that you can live your best life. One of our natural instincts as humans is to connect with others and to find a place of safety. I want to offer you that place of safety and the rare opportunity of pure connection without judgments or demands. I want the shared space to be comforting so that you feel held and able to express yourself fully without fear.

It takes courage to contact a Counsellor for the first time you may be feeling stuck or overwhelmed, needing to make sense or gain clarity of your personal issues. As an experienced Professional Counsellor, I provide a safe, non-judgemental and confidential space. A place where you can explore the changes "you want". Building resilience and strategies to cope with relationship or work issues, such as stress, anxiety, depression, bereavement, low self-esteem, bullying, or stressful health challenges. Short & long-term therapy 9am -7pm + Sat mornings. A calm comfortable garden studio or outdoors and online during Covid19.

My name is Jacqui Govier and I have a Foundation Degree in Integrative Counselling and am a registered member of the BACP. (British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy) Our counselling sessions can provide a safe space for you to talk about what’s on your mind. Maybe about things you are finding troubling or would like to change, exploring your feelings in a confidential setting. I help to support adults and young people with a range of issues including anxiety, self-esteem, depression, loss, bereavement, family and possible underlying issues.

Reaching out can be hard. Are you feeling overwhelmed? struggling to cope with your situation? your emotions? your experiences? If your trust has been damaged, talking to someone who will take time to understand you can be a huge relief. Perhaps you need support through a crisis or you are at the end of your tether with multiple stresses. Even if you have longterm issues that seem stuck, talking to someone can make a difference. You may gain insight into the roots of your difficulties and find qualities in yourself that have never had a chance to develop. The aim is to help you live a more rewarding life.

Do you feel stuck, anxious or overwhelmed? Perhaps panic, worry, lack of confidence or low self esteem is having a negative effect on your life. I understand how this may cause you to feel isolated and alone, perhaps you have tried to express how you feel with loved ones, or you may feel unable to find the words. I realise how important it is for you to find a counsellor that you feel comfortable with and how this is a big first step toward's improving your situation.

People choose to come to therapy for many different reasons. You may have experienced a loss, be feeling stuck and wondering how to change your life; or perhaps be going through a life crisis, or having difficulties in your relationships. I offer particular insight for those who have experienced bereavement through the death of a child or pregnancy loss, or received a life changing diagnosis for themselves or their child. Simply being with a compassionate, professionally trained therapist who listens without judgement can be a powerful, healing and transformative experience.

I am currently meeting via Skype/Zoom or telephone. If you want to commence and are worried about CV-19 please do contact and we can make arrangements. We can all experience difficult and painful times and life some sometimes feel hard to manage, often leaving us feeling alone and afraid, feeling that we need some support and understanding from a professional. My practice is to work alongside people in order to help them gain some insight and understanding about their difficulties as well as feel supported and heard. Depression, anxiety, loss and separation are some of the more difficult issues we come up against in life.
